1. The reason you have not heard from her is that her mission
was a failure. No one in the Muslim world believed her bullshit.

3. if only we had been as discerning ...
although, maybe we were. gore was our real elected president. the bushes just gave him and us a coup d'etat.

will junior want to voluntarily vacate the oval office after the '08 election?

i doubt it!

what will karen be out there telling the rest of us then. i wonder.

2. latest thing I could find is a puff peice interview with Cal Thomas
http://www.timesgazette.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=141924&TM=37139.75

here's a funny snip:

The United States continues to believe that because we see ourselves as objectively good, the rest of the world can be persuaded of our goodness and not take up arms against us.

I'm sure some can be so persuaded, but probably not nearly enough and very likely not soon enough to prevent more attacks.

Hughes mentions a group of Saudi clerics who made their first visit to America at the State Department's invitation. She says she had been told their Friday sermons "had been very negative, very anti-American."

They visited American synagogues, mosques and churches. Hughes says she was told by "our people on the ground" in Saudi Arabia that the clerics now have a "much different and changed view of our country."

I ask if Hughes has checked on the content of their sermons since their return to Saudi Arabia. She says she has not, but has received reports that there has been a "difference" and that the clerics have a different view of America.

9. cal thomas?
he is just as arrogantly insane as bush. i think...

uh?: this too is another "uh?" moment: "The United States continues to believe that because we see ourselves as objectively good, the rest of the world can be persuaded of our goodness and not take up arms against us."

this really made me fall out laughing.

all of this people are so absurdly insane! cantinflismos is the language of choice for them!

4. Is Condi still the "un-sticker" in Iraq?
I mean really, what in hell is Condoleeza Rice supposed to be doing? What has she done, if anything?

The genius! The good professor! What has she done as Sec of State? Does she have even one accomplishment to her credit?

7. Rice is as big a failure as the others.
It's disappointing because I expected more from her. With Bush and Cheney, I already knew they were worthless crooks.

11. Karen Hughes is recovering from rhinoplasty after falling flat on her face
The crap spewing from her orifice was 100% for domestic consumption. Her job was never intended to change the hearts and minds of Muslims, but rather, to shore up the sagging base, nothing more. She failed in spades.

13. thanks for posting the above link.
the smiley in your post is right on target.

karen is encouraging schizophrenogeic speech: say something, mean nothing, or say one thing, mean another ... spin it, spin it, spin it. a/k/a cantinflismo, or bushism.

15. Maybe she was kidnapped and is now a slave in some
Bedouin shiek's tent, cooking, cleaning and emptying the bed pans? Oh, he had her tongue cut out because she talked too much.

16. I bet she's still on some payroll bilking funds from the American treasury.
It's the thug thing to do.

Pay more for less competence.
